Baird analyst Shrenik Kothari maintains $Elastic (ESTC.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $135.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 81.5% and a total average return of 27.1% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Elastic (ESTC.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Elastic's performance in Q2, which surpassed consensus expectations, is likely to create a positive sentiment among investors. This improvement comes as the company seems to have successfully navigated through its go-to-market changes initiated in Q1. The outlook for Elastic suggests a promising scenario as the year progresses into its latter half.
Following a robust second quarter, there has been an observable recovery from earlier go-to-market challenges. The recent quarter demonstrated heightened bookings and billing growth, along with an increasing contribution from generative artificial intelligence. Analysts note that generative AI appears to be revitalizing the company's foundational search operations and expect continued positive performance following the resolution of execution issues, with future projections appearing cautiously optimistic.
The company's recent quarterly performance suggests that the reorganization within its sales division may have had lesser disruptive effects than initially anticipated, though it retains some level of risk. Furthermore, the projection for overall revenue growth of 10%-13% by the end of FY25, while cautious and incorporating various conservative estimations, moderately lacks inspiration given the dynamic sectors of gen-AI, security, and observability in which the company operates.
